I had never thought, not even in any of my dreams, that I’ll be penning this down and would get it published. It is the dark side of my life that I never wanted the world to know, that side of me that was always a well-kept secret.
Yes, like every other person, I had my past too, a dark one that I never dared to discuss with anyone. But today, I would dare to.
My Story
I was like any other bubbly child, with a normal childhood. I used to be very energetic and people used to call me “the happy soul” until that day when everything changed.
I clearly remember that day, the year was 2008. I was as always playing in a temple near my house with my friends. It was near my home and we all used to go and have a nice time there. The priest knew us and used to welcome us with open arms.
That day, not many of us were there. It was early in the evening that all of us decided to go back when the priest called me. Rest of my friends went while I stayed. He said he wanted my help. I was too innocent to understand what may happen and I stayed back. He then asked me to sit on his laps and recite “twinkle twinkle little stars”. As I was reciting, he suddenly held my face and started kissing me.
